sand bar

We passed beyond spark-range and splashed out on a sand-bar that jutted from the southern bank.

He was on the sand-bar before I could see him clearly, and coming straight toward where I was huddled in the brush.

So I was left on the sand-bar with two dead thieves, and two who should have been dead, and a little knot of horses for company.

How would you work to get a six-foot vessel over a four-foot sand bar?

That may be because some one ran aground sometime on the sand-bar off the end, and thought it deceitful.
